Local chef/owners Adrian Musgrove and Jack Tucker are preparing hot and fresh-smoked barbecue favorites that include brisket, pork, Louisiana sausage, chicken, and ribs – all infused with apple wood smoke flavor – at the Welded Elephant.
There isn't a gimmicky dining room fancy bar or elegant place settings at the Welded Elephant. In fact, the establishment is no more than an outdoor barbecue stand complete with a warm fire and a picnic table but the real goods are in the spicy smoked meats and breakfast burritos Musgrove and Tucker are serving six days a week.
On a typical day, they will arrive at 5:30 a.m. to get the fires rolling and the meat smoking for the lunch and dinner crowds later that day. Once the meat is pleasantly smoking, commuters can stop by as early as 6 a.m. to pick up a hot breakfast burrito that include, steak, chorizo, green chile, black beans, bacon, and sausage.
"These burritos hit the spot," Musgrove said last week as he checked on two huge slabs of smoked brisket.
After the breakfast burrito rush is over, he said they usually close for a couple of hours and return to serve lunch at 10:30 a.m. Depending on what is available that day from the fire, customers can choose between sandwiches or personal platters with their choice of meats.
"We bring all concepts of barbecue here," Musgrove said of the Cajun-rubbed meat specialties. "We are brining together Louisiana, Memphis and Carolina styles here with a Cajun flair."
To top the barbecue, Musgrove said they are constantly creating new and creative sauces like the cherry-chipotle sauce he was serving up that day. To go along with the barbecue, the Welded Elephant has a variety of sides available including mashed potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, chipotle coleslaw, chips, and, soon, baked potatoes for the upcoming cold winter months.
In fact, with the winter months on the region's doorstep, Musgrove said the Welded Elephant will be open even during the coldest, snowiest days.
"We can't run from it," he said, "so we will be here all winter – even in the snowstorms. We want commuters and locals to have a place they can go and get some great food. They can pick it up and take it home or people can stay and eat it here and enjoy the warm fire."
For the dinner crowd, Musgrove said he will try to remain open until 8 p.m. or until he is sold out of the day's meats. He also said that he plans to sell as much locally raised meat as it becomes available.
The Welded Elephant is located at 566 Sherman St. and is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday. Call-ahead orders are also taken at 970/208-5633.

2012 Spring Issue 2 (April 13, 2012)
Three ways of looking at peninsula: Rethinking study abroad
If I were really part of a grand tradition of flocking to cultural centers to learn from great scholars, I would go to New York or San Francisco, not Rome- and it wouldn't even matter nowadays, because globalization and the internet have spread cultural prestige so completely across the first world that talking about 'centers of knowledge' is essentially absurd.
On bananas and doing new tricks with old things
A few weeks ago, I read in passing that an excess of potassium in your bloodstream could cause cardiac arrest. Having eaten probably four bananas that day, I immediately proceeded to Google to confirm whether this was true and whether I was in danger. It turned out I wasn't the only one concerned. The first question that I found read: "I eat 25-30 bananas every day. Is this too many?"
The art of mind control
It was a strange thing, using my mind to get out of my mind. The constant feeling that a shark was going to come speeding out of the blue and attack me, the fear of being stung by something foreign and terrifying, the fear of drowning, of getting left behind, still entered my mind. Yet, for the first time, I found the ability to accept I had no fear.
Nationalism as a construct
Nationalism is an invention. A damn useful invention. Picture this: a force that can control the mind, body, and soul of a huge mass of people and unite them under a common understanding of human cooperation and governance. That's nationalism, and it's a powerful tool. If you don't think nationalism can be "used," you're wrong. Patriotic appeals are all over the place.

Junk food junkie alert: Look for Twinkies on store shelves in July.
Twinkies will return to store shelves in July. Four former Hostess snack cake bakeries around the country are scheduled to re-open within eight to 10 weeks.
File photo / The Associated Press
Four former Hostess snack cake bakeries around the country are scheduled to re-open within eight to 10 weeks.
"Hooray!" said Kent Heermann, president of the Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas, which includes Emporia, Kan., where one of the plants is located.
An investment group, which bought assets and rights to several products after Hostess Brands Inc. liquidated last year, confirmed this week that bakeries in Emporia; Columbus, Ga.; Schiller Park, Ill.; and Indianapolis will begin hiring soon.
The investor partnership of Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management LLC paid $410 million for the bakeries and rights and to make Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, Donettes, Zingers, Suzy Qs, Mini Muffins and Hostess Cup Cakes. The sale was supervised by a bankruptcy court after Hostess Brands Inc. filed for liquidation.
Lead investor C. Dean Metropoulos told The Wall Street Journal that the partnership intends to pour $60 million more in capital investments into four, perhaps five, plants and hire 1,500 workers to staff them.
The four plants, possibly plus one more in Los Angeles, were among 11 former Hostess bakeries acquired by Metropoulos and Apollo. The investors believe the re-opened plants can be run more efficiently and turn out as much product as the previous 11.
About 500 people lost their jobs at the Emporia bakery when Hostess Brands Inc. shut down the plant in bankruptcy last year. The new owners, doing business as a new company, Hostess Brands LLC, said Thursday that the plant will hire 250 initially and about 50 more as work progresses.
A small group of Emporia bakery employees is expected to begin work May 15.
"The city is delighted," said Emporia Mayor Bobbi Mlynar, who said that "making the best snack cakes in the world is something that Emporia-area workers know how to do well and are eager to resume doing."
Re-opening will boost the Emporia economy, but there will be only half the number of previous jobs and the plant's new owner has said it won't use union labor.
But Michael Cramer, an executive involved in the new Hostess Brands LCC operations, said the new jobs will pay "competitive wages and benefits, and I'm sure people will be pleased."
Employees who previously worked for Hostess under union contracts may apply for the new non-union jobs, he and another job recruiter confirmed.
"Experience helps," Cramer said. "We want people who are excited about working there and are energized about it."
Previously, about 15,000 of the 18,000 former Hostess plant workers around the country were represented by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers International Union or by the Teamsters.
Cramer said the Emporia plant will begin making the products it previously made. Over time, it may add more brands as it assumes production of items previously made at some of the plants that won't be reopened.
Hostess Brands Inc., formerly Interstate Bakeries Corp., had its headquarters in Kansas City for decades before it moved some executive functions to the Dallas area after emerging from its first bankruptcy reorganization in 2009.
The company had been financially troubled for years. It filed its second bankruptcy petition in January 2012, blaming union contract disputes.
The bakery union walked out in November after the former Hostess owners sought cuts in wages, insurance and pension benefits after union members already had agreed to a series of concessions.

Ed Perkins on Travel
Senior Travel
December 14, 2011
The giant airlines, concerned about the huge backlog of frequent flyer miles and their own stinginess with awards, are pushing non-flying uses for miles. As with everything else they do to these programs, the airlines will benefit. But for you, as a consumer -- not so much. I've warned about poor non-travel values for miles, and a new report adds some additional reality.
Again, we have to thank Jay Sorensen at IdeaWorks for some great research: The IdeaWorks List of Hotel and Car Rewards for the World's Top-30 Airlines. The researchers calculated the value of each mile when applied to use for hotel accommodations and car rentals, and found some important differences among the big North American lines. Three lines offer reasonable value:
-- One Air Canada mile is worth 1.3 cents when you apply it toward hotel accommodations and 1.4 cents for rental car awards.
-- One American mile is worth 1 cent for hotels and 1.4 cents for rental cars.
-- Southwest points are worth the equivalent of 0.7 cents when used for hotels and 1.5 cents toward car rentals.
The others don't do as well:
-- One United/Continental mile is worth 0.8 cents for hotels and 0.5 cents for cars.
-- And Delta -- already renowned as stingy with award seats -- scores a dismal 0.3 cents a mile for either hotels or cars.
Among the big foreign lines that allow use of miles for hotels and cars, British Airways scores 1 cent for hotels and 0.7 cents for cars, Lufthansa scores 0.5 and 0.7, respectively, SAS scored 1.5 cents for hotels (no cars), and Virgin Australia scores 0.7 cents for both.
I won't go into methodology other than to say that, as a former researcher, I believe the analysis to be totally sound. If you want the details, check www.ideaworkscompany.com/press/2011/2011AlternativeRewards-Report.pdf.
To put these awards in perspective, most industry observers figure each mile is worth between 1 and 2 cents when you use them for "free" seats in economy class and maybe twice that in premium classes. Thus, Air Canada and American at least come close to giving you a fair shake for non-travel use, but the others don't.
The report also notes that many lines let you use miles for ancillary airline services such as lounge access. Also, some airlines give their top-ranking "elite" frequent flyers special, more generous, award lists. But, in general, you don't get to see these deals unless you're an elite, yourself.
The report doesn't cover use of miles for merchandise, although 17 of the top 20 lines do offer such deals. When I've looked at those options, I find that, at best, you realize about 0.5 cents a mile when you use them to shop the airlines' "catalogs."
Certainly, you can understand why airlines would want to be stingy with miles used for non-travel purposes. One way or another, they have to pay when they award something they themselves don't provide. I doubt, however, that they pay anyone "full retail" for non-travel awards. In some cases, they may well trade benefits, and I know that airlines often buy some outside services, such as advertising, with tickets rather than cash.
All in all, the IdeaWorks report confirms two widespread suspicions:
-- Despite all the hassles of scoring seats, airlines miles are worth more for travel rewards than for anything else.
-- If you earn most of your miles through a credit card, you're better off using a card that pays cash back -- as much as 2 cents per dollar charged -- rather than airline miles. That's true even if you use the cash back to buy airline tickets: At least you can actually find seats that way.
The main case where you're better off sticking with the airline miles is if you like to fly in a premium class. There, miles are about the only practical way most of you'll ever see the front cabin of a plane.

Both Mack and I are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.Come by sometime for a glass of iced tea and I'll show you the letters. Plus I'll tell you the latest about Grace and Olivia, my brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who tied the knot about five minutes after they met!), and all our other mutual friends.

Dear Reader, You've probably heard that my wife has left me. Rachel's pregnant, and she says she can't handle the stress in our household anymore. My thirteen-year-old daughter, Jolene, is jealous of her. Maybe it's my fault. As a widower I spoiled her--Jolene was reading over my shoulder just now and says that's not true. She claims Rachel ruined everything. But that's not true. The real question is: How can I get my wife back? I don't even know where she is. She's not with Teri Polgar or any of her other friends from the salon. The other question is...when will Jolene grow up and stop acting like such a brat? Of course, I'm not the only one in town with problems. Linc Wyse's father-in-law is trying to destroy his business. And you know Charlotte Rhodes? Seems she's becoming forgetful, and the family's worried about her and Ben. Lots of other stuff going on-but Rachel is better at keeping up with it than I am. If you have any idea where my wife is, give me a call. Please.

But as danger tracks Tess to her door, something unexpected happens that will transform two very different people, and one dusty, dead-end town, forever . . .From the Paperback edition.
204 Rosewood Lane (Cedar Cove #2)by Debbie Macomber
Dear Reader,If you've been to Cedar Cove before we've probably met. You can usually find me either at home or at the public library, where I work. I've lived in this town all my life and raised two daughters here. But my husband and I - well, about six months ago, he disappeared. Just. . . disappeared. Where's Dan? Why did he go? Who's he with? Will I ever find out?My hometown, my family and friends, bring me comfort during this difficult time. Comfort and a sense of shelter. I'm continually reminded that life can and does go on. For instance, everyone's been discussing weddings and babies lately. Justine - the only daughter of my best friend, Olivia Lockhart - impulsively got married a little while ago. My own daughter Kelly recently had a baby. Unfortunately, she refuses to accept that Dan might not return to see his first grandchild. My older daughter, Maryellen, is more realistic. I think she's seeing a new man, but for some reason she won't tell me who it is. Then there's Jack, who's been pursuing a romance with Olivia, and his son, Eric, and Eric's girlfriend, Shelly (I think she's pregnant), and Zach and Rosemary Cox, whose marriage is reputedly on the skids and. . . Well, just come on over and we'll talk!Grace

22 Things a Woman Must Know: If She Loves a Man With Asperger's Syndromeby Rudy Simone Maxine Aston
Although having Asperger's Syndrome (AS) can make romantic relations difficult, having a fulfilling relationship with an Asperger man is certainly not impossible. A woman in love with a man with AS may interpret his difficulties with communication and socialization as a lack of interest in the relationship. He may vacillate between being gentle and caring to seeming cold and distant. She may find his behavior hard to understand, resulting in feelings of loneliness, isolation, and confusion. This book shows how to overcome these difficulties and maintain a loving relationship with an AS partner. From an unwillingness to show affection in public or even sleep in the same bed, to problems holding down a job, this book looks at 22 common traits that women may discover when they are dating, living with or married to a man with Asperger's Syndrome. Rudy Simone explores the complications of Asperger's relationships with honesty and understanding, drawing on research and personal experience to inform and advise women with AS partners. She offers helpful tips for improving the relationship and finding fulfillment both individually and as a couple. This book will help women to understand the male Asperger's mind and, equally, it can help men with AS to see things from their partner's perspective. It will also be of interest to counselors working with couples where the male partner has Asperger's Syndrome. Rudy Simone is a writer and Asperger's Syndrome educator who lives in Western New York.

Prescott Personal Securities provided the best bodyguards money could buy. New client Kelly Warner had trouble she couldn't escape. Trapped in controversy, Kelly and her young daughter had the whole world watching them. But only one man was hired to look out for their best interests: Jack Sanders. Kelly had secrets that people would kill for--and someone was trying real hard. But now she had Jack, and he would never take his eyes off her, no matter their past together. Caught under the gun, the all-American bodyguard had a message to send--Denver was under the protection of PPS, and there just wasn't room for anyone else.

311 Pelican Court (Cedar Cove #3)by Debbie Macomber
Rosie Cox 311 Pelican Court Cedar Cove, WashingtonDear Reader,One thing about Cedar Cove - people sure are interested in what other people are doing. Take me, for instance. Everybody in this town knows that my husband, Zach, and I recently got a divorce. Everybody also knows that Judge Olivia Lockhart decreed a pretty unusual custody arrangement. It won't be the kids moving between my place and Zach's. We're the ones who'll be going back and forth!Olivia isn't immune to gossip herself. Will she stay with Jack, the guy who runs our local paper, or will she get back with her ex? Inquiring minds want to know! But the really big gossip has to do with the dead guy - the man who died at a local bed-and-breakfast. Who is he and why did he show up there in the middle of the night? Roy McAfee, our local private investigator, is absolutely determined to find out. I hope he does - and then I'll let you know! See you soon. . . ;. Rosie
40 Tons Of Troubleby Connie Flynn
Moving on down the highway... That's all Cat DeAngelo wants to do, but it's getting harder and harder. That's because someone's trying to ruin DeAngelo Transport. Cat's trucks have suffered a rash of break-ins, and a slimy competitor keeps underbidding her and offering to buy her out. Worse, Cat's at odds with her sister and brother. They want her to get out from behind the wheel and take over the day-to-day running of the family company--from behind a desk! Then Cat takes on a six-foot-five certified "hunk" as a temporary codriver and her problems really escalate! Right along with her heart rate.
44 Cranberry Point (Cedar Cove #4)by Debbie Macomber
Peggy Beldon Thyme and Tide B and B 44 Cranberry Point Cedar Cove, WashingtonDear Reader,I love living in Cedar Cove, but things haven't been the same since a man died in our B and B. Turns out his name was Max Russell, and Bob had known him briefly in Vietnam. We still don't have any idea why he came here and - most important of all - who killed him. Because it now appears that he was poisoned. I sure hope somebody figures it out soon!Not that we're providing the only news in Cedar Cove these days. I heard that Jon Bowman and Maryellen Sherman are getting married. And Maryellen's mom, Grace, has more than her share of interested men! The question is: Which one is she going to choose? Olivia - I guess it's Olivia Griffin now - is back from her honeymoon, and her mother, Charlotte (who's in her mid-seventies at least), seems to have a man in her life, too. I'm not sure Olivia's too pleased. . . ;. There's lots of other gossip I could tell you. Come by for a cup of tea and one of my blueberry muffins and we'll talk. Peggy
50 Harbor Street (Cedar Cove #5)by Debbie Macomber
Dear Reader,Considering that I'm married to Cedar Cove's private investigator, you might think I enjoy mysteries. But I don't-especially when they involve us! Roy's been receiving anonymous postcards and messages asking if we "regret the past." We don't know what they mean....On a more positive note, we're both delighted that our daughter, Linnette, has moved to Cedar Cove to work at the new medical clinic. A while ago I attended the humane society's "Dog and Bachelor Auction," where I bought her a date with Cal Washburn, who works at Cliff Harding's horse farm. Unfortunately Linnette is less enthusiastic about this date than I am.Speaking of Cliff, the romance between him and Grace Sherman is back on. But that's only one of the many interesting stories here in Cedar Cove. So why don't you drop by for a coffee at my husband's office on Main Street or our house on Harbor and I'll tell you everything that's new!
50 Ways to Hex Your Loverby Linda Wisdom
"Wickedly fun!" --Romantic Times. "Clever writing, a high sensuality factor and an unfettered imagination..." --Publishers Weekly. Jazz can't decide whether to scorch him with a fireball or jump into bed with him. Jasmine Tremaine, a witch who can't stay out of trouble. Nikolai Gregorivich, a drop-dead gorgeous vampire cop on the trail of a serial killer. The sizzling love affair between Jazz and Nick has been off-again, on-again-for about 300 years. Mostly off, lately. But now Nick needs Jazz's help, and while Jazz and Nick try to figure out their own hearts and resist their ever-increasing attraction, they must steer clear of a maniacal killer with super-supernatural powers. They are surrounded by a hilarious cast of oddball paranormal characters, including Irma, the chain-smoking ghost who haunts Jazz's sports car, Dweezil, her ghoul of a boss, and Fluff and Puff, a pair of bunny slippers with sharp teeth and short tempers (watch your ankles)!

ORU Faces Preseason Favorite McNeese State
Live video of Saturday's game is available for ELIve subscribers on ORUGoldenEagles.com, while radio coverage is available on KYAL-AM 1550 and ORUGoldenEagles.com.
Oral Roberts (8-9, 5-2 Southland Conference) dominated Lamar and knocked the Lady Cardinals out of first place in the SLC standings with a 77-48 victory on January 24 at the Mabee Center.
Four Golden Eagles scored in double-figures, led by freshman Taylor Cooper. The Shawnee native was 4-for-9 from three-point range and scored a career-high 20 points
Junior Sarah Shelton crashed the glass against Lamar and finished the game with her first career double-double. The center scored 19 points, two shy of a career-high, and grabbed a career-best 12 rebounds.
Seniors Jaci Bigham and Kevi Luper each scored 13 points in the win. Bigham was an ultra-efficient 4-for-5 from the floor, hit all three of her three-point attempts, and led all players with seven assists.
The Golden Eagle defensive effort held Lamar to 28.8% shooting from the floor and 19.0% shooting from three-point range. Lamar guard Kalis Loyd, who entered the game averaging 18.8 points per contest, was held to just 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting.
The win was the largest conference victory for the Golden Eagles since a 102-62 win over former Summit League rival IPFW on January 23, 2012.
McNeese (9-9, 4-3 SLC) got off to a rough start in league play but also knocked off a Southland Conference leader on Thursday night, earning a 77-61 win over Central Arkansas
Senior Ashlyn Baggett leads McNeese in scoring, at 18.5 points per game, while twin sister Caitlyn Baggett is averaging 13.8 points and 4.7 assists per game.
The Cowgirls were picked 1st in both Southland Conference Preseason Polls after winning the last two Southland Conference Tournaments. McNeese earned a 15-seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament and fell to 2nd-seeded Kentucky, 68-62.
McNeese State Head Coach Brooks Donald-Williams is 83-74 in her sixth season leading the McNeese program. She was the 2011 Southland Conference Coach of the Year.
ORU's Misti Cussen is 8-9 in her first season at the helm.
Oral Roberts is 1-2 all-time against McNeese State, with a 1-0 record at the Mabee Center and an 0-2 victory in neutral site games.
ORU last played the Cowgirls on November 25, 1988, a 91-63 McNeese victory at the Lady Aggie Classic in College Station, Texas.
ORU's lone victory over the Cowgirls was a forfeit win on January 10, 1981.
Cussen's crew continues their season-long four-game home stand on Thursday, January 31 when they face Nicholls State. Tipoff at the Mabee Center is scheduled for 5 pm CT.

So, uh, what are you wearing? April 15, 2011: My friend Jen Olsen works at Random House as an ebook managing editor, and she is an excellent reccomender of films that, while not always good, are always good to see. The other day, she pointed out that Netflix is streaming Starting Out in the Evening, a slow-paced and well-acted (if not superbly written, and somewhat tackily scored) film [...]

I actually thought this would not work, but I am very plesantly surprised that it does. I can't say it will work for everyone but I definitely know it does for me. I read one review that it takes about 30 days to be effective....just half that time for me. I'm 56, she's 31. I went 3 times back to back, then she went to sleep,,, I was ready for a 4th time. Haven't done that since my 20's. Just make sure you take at least one every single day. Stuff's amazing!!!!

Comments about Marathon 21:
This most useful product does work. Since I take many prescription medications, I had to be very careful of these products. It soes not have any negative side effects, at all.
Just take one in the AM with some light snack and one in the PM-before dinner. It will take about some time to be effective,3-4 weeks. With some
stimulation, you will notice a good/great improvement in stimulation and overall hardness.
To some degree your desire will again return, maybe not to the degree of your youth, but it does return.
Remember, many other products out there, are Very Dangerious To Use, especially if you take Any Prescription Medications. Many of the other products have heavy caffeine, or herbal byproducts that are not good to consume.
I use this product with a good quality mens multi vitamin and l-arginine 500 mg. This safe vitamin has many health benefits, such as increased blood flow,and this amino acid helps the heart and immune systems too!

"I printed cards with the same pictures with 3 different photo card services, and this one turned out the best. The photos were so clear and vivid. The impact of this card was so much more than the others that had heavy stock paper, but so-so photo printing. It is 7 months later, and people still rave about the card."
"Really lovely card from the studio basics range. Lovely design and looked great when delivered. Much better than expected and envelopes of a very good quality. Would recommend."
"I've been ordering cards from tiny prints for five years. Quality is fantastic and delivery in two days is huge plus for this last minute Mom ;) I order multiple cards a year for various holidays and birthday and keep coming back to tiny prints. Reliable regarding quality product and customer service."
"This card was so cute! I had to order more because I couldn't stop handing it out to friends and neighbors. The post card form was so convenient for a Valentine (and cheaper postage)."
"We used this for an announcement/valentines card and we got quite a few compliments on it. The paper was even thicker than I thought and our black and white turned out beautifully with the red."

Very interesting. I am curious about this method. However; I am a believer that you need to oxygenate your reservoir.
I still am interested, because I believe that many methods can be applied in hydroponics, and much is a matter of personal choice, and circumstances.
Thanks for sharing. I Might buy this, since I have been studying off the grid options for all substantial needs.

Pruning was turned on for this forum. This is, unfortunately, an aspect from a long time ago (apparently about 4-5 years ago, which is long before my time), when it was believed that topic threads take up too much disk space.
This is incorrect, as text hardly takes up any room at all.
Nevertheless, many forums still have one-year pruning turned on. Threads that are over a year old are automatically deleted by the forum.
We have been turning it off
on request
, as there are too many forums to be practical to go through individually and turn them all off.
I have turned off pruning for Polis Massa. However, that means the original thread is lost, as the error message states.

- Thu, May 30, 2013, 3:04 PMHi Girish,
This plugin installs fine here on Moodle 2.5, are you sure you only support this for Moodle 2.0? (just checking)
Could you also consider adding the following urls:
- documentation (or links to any documentation out there about using this)
- bug tracker url ( github has http://github.com/gbablani/moodle-auth_azuread/issues )
- any website url (that demonstrates this plugin perhaps)
- Thu, May 30, 2013, 3:05 PMAlso please consider renaming (or creating a copy) of the README.md to README.txt
- Thu, May 30, 2013, 3:21 PMMy bad - I assumed marking for 2.0 implied upwards compat. Fixed that and added URL for documentation. Also added bug tracking URL
- Tue, Jun 4, 2013, 10:52 AMThanks Girish,
i've copied your urls from the release notes and added them to the 'useful links' section. If you have any urls, please add them to this section. The documentation is readable only via downloading, i'd recommend adding that as the description here when you edit the plugin entry.
- Fri, Aug 9, 2013, 3:47 PMI just updated a new version that checks for php_http being installed on the system. It also updates the way it gets federation metadata from Azure Active Directory

"I used this card for my new Custom House Cleaning business. Everyone comments on how cute my card is! It was so easy to make. I especially like that I was able to put additional information (services provided, hours available, etc.) on the back of the card. I put my business logo in the front photo area and all my contact information to the right. I am very happy with how they turned out! Thank you, Tiny Prints!"
"This is a very classy card with vivid colors and a pleasant matte finish. I have a photo of my business on the front. I love the burn-out contrast of the two lines of text, which I use for my headline. The back is the reverse color scheme with white text-on-leather background, which is in contrast to the headline colors from the front. I have my contact information printed on the back. The custom review and proofing by a Tiny Prints designer was very helpful in cropping my photo for its best effect. I am very happy with this card and will definitely order it again!"
"So very happy with the business cards I ordered. The personal help from a designer was invaluable and helped me get just the look I wanted. Will order many more products in the future!"
"The stock paper used on this card, provides a sharp, professional business card. I am very pleased with this product. Above all else, the free design service is unprecedented and results in a superior product that meets every expectation."
"Everything about this design is modern, easy to design, and most of all, fun for my customers! The paper quality is terrific, and they don't skimp out on the ink. Wonderful company and design!"

Shelley Ross for NBC News President
Hi everyone! We all know Steve Capus is stepping down as president of NBC News. While there are a number of great contender for the soon to be vacated post, no one can argue that Shelley Ross is the best candidate for this position. She has the experience, have a clear sense of what's important, knows how to run a morning show (was credited for the boost of GMA and Early Show), and have the best credentials to run a news division. If NBC executives need someone to run NBC News, Shelley Ross is the perfect fit.

Post subject: Ejection Strap Interest Thread
As you know, I am tooling up to make some X-Wing pilot goodies for the fan film and am trying to nail down the best solution for the materials to make the ejection straps and belt out of. Just wanted to get everyone's input as to what they prefer. The options I have found that are available are 2" Polyester Seat Belt Material @ .52 a foot (Grey), or 2" Heavyweight Polypropylene @ .27 a foot (Silver Grey). I'm not worried about which material is easier to work with or the weight of the material as all of my machines are true industrial sewing machines. I can sew silver dollars together!
The reference images I have is making this difficult to determine the exact material used in the film, if anyone has a definite answer please let me know. It is my understanding that the way the cod strap attaches to the flak vest is either pinned to the flight suit or velcroed to the underside of the flak vest. Opinions??? I want to make everyone happy and provide the most screen acurate ejections straps/belt; however there seems to be a difference of opinion of the material to use.

Velcroed to the flight suit works for me. At least that's how I do it.
I know people that do it to the flak vest and they have trouble with it pulling down the vest in the attachment area.
silver-grey flat nylon is what we used.

I prefer the gray seat belt webbing, personally. I sewed the back strap to the back of my flak vest and then I have a button hole sewn onto the front strap; there is a button sewn on the inside of my flak vest front to attach it. I have NEVER had my straps pull off since I did this.

My opinion:
We simply pin the straps to the flight suit under the vest. However, I have found that by adding 3 to 4 inches of 2 inch wide elastic to the front and back ends, in such a way that it is hidden by the vest, I have a little more flexibility when bending and sitting. Also, if my harness snags on something there is a little bit of give and it won't simply pop the pin or rip anything. Also, if you decide to pin it, a solid diaper pin seems to work better than safety pins.

I use large safety pins and pin them to the inside of my vest so you can't see it. Can't really see how it's pinned if you're wearing a chest box anyway.

Thanks for the input on how you attach the straps to the flak vest. The only other question I guess I have is what type of material the majority of you use to make the ejection straps? The options I have available to me are: 2" Polyester Seat Belt Material @ .52 a foot (Grey), or 2" Heavyweight Polypropylene @ .27 a foot (Silver Grey). It doesn't matter to me which one is easier to work with, just which one is most accurate in referrence to the "film."

I have been told that the belt is only slightly darker than the ejection straps, which if true means that they are probably not of the same material.
I know that the ejection straps are ribbed, and that they are attached under the jacket on the ESB version of the costume.

I would like to apologize to everyone on the delay of my ejection strap and belt build up, but I have had a bit of a wild December. On the 15th I graduated with my Master of Arts in Communication and on the 18th my wife gave birth to our second daughter. Our groups film project has been put on hold till January but I hope to everything completed on my end by Jaunuary 1. I will keep everyone posted as to my progress and will include pictures at that time. I thank you for your patience and have a safe and happy holiday season.

This Penn State Business
Posted 12 July 2012 - 09:51 AM
And it is more disturbing than I expected. It appear that Penn State at the highest level knew exactly what was happening and deliberately chose to do nothing to stop it.
I'll be very surprised if the NCAA does not seriously consider the death penalty for at least the football program. Covering up child rape blows out of the water anything Miami ever did.
And I also wonder how the Big Ten will respond. It's going to be tough to brag about integrity when a member of that conference actually ignored child rape apparently in the interests of protecting the reputation of a staff member and of the university as a whole.

He definitely made mistakes during this Sandusky scandal, but removing all of his likeness from the school? Come on.
As for the death penalty, it should be reserved for severe NCAA rules violations and infractions. While what went on at PSU was terrible, I don't think it actually amounted to NCAA violations. Moral and ethical violations? Absolutely. But a death penalty could shut the program down for literally years, and the current and future student athletes don't deserve that. Read about the last (and only) time there was a NCAA death penalty:

Freeh: "The most powerful leaders at Penn State ... repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse from authorities"
Absolutely sickening and heartbreaking at the same time.
Posted 12 July 2012 - 10:52 AM
As for all of his donations to the university... He had so much money coming in, he had to spend it somehow. I'm sure it was great tax write-off to donat to the university and also it was greate self-promotion.
Should Penn St receive the death penalty? I have been on both sides of the fence on this one. Initially, I was all for it, but then I started thinking that the death penalty should probably only be used if the school's football program gained an unfair advantage over other teams because of the violations. In this case, I have to say that no, these incidents didn't in any way help recruiting, nor did it give the team an unfair advantage. On the other hand, what they apparently knew about and allowed to fester is so vile that I think even though the program didn't benefit from it, Penn St should not be allowed to continue playing football - at least until all of those who had a part in the cover-up are cleansed from the university.
Posted 12 July 2012 - 11:10 AM
I merged your post into this post, didn't want there to be two conversations on this issue going on at the same time.
I don't think there's a word to describe the level of disgust I feel about this situation.

Let's compare Penn State's offense with SMU's. SMU set up a fund to pay student athletes, then attempted to deny involvement and pay off people who were involved so they would keep quiet.
That's bad.
Penn State deliberately and knowingly ignored repeated allegations of child molestation on their property and by their staff so as to avoid negative publicity (according to the Freeh report), and in doing so deliberately broke a number of laws and regulations that could yet result in long term repercussions that would have a devastating impact the university, up to an including severe consequences with regards to student loan funds.
That's worse.
That's so much worse I can't even compare the two offenses on the same scale. SMU cheated to get ahead. Penn State conspired to protect a guy who was systemically abusing children and was using the football program and football facilities to do so.
I don't see how the death penalty is unwarranted. The football culture at Penn State had gotten to the point where protecting a child rapist was seen as a correct decision. That culture must be changed at any cost. I strongly doubt that the culture that led to that obscenely exalted position for football can be changed while football is still be played on the campus. At the absolute minimum Penn State should be stripped of all home games until they can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the culture has been irrevocably changed. If that takes years, so be it.
Yes, it would suck for the current crop of students and athletes who would be affected. I'm not unsympathetic; I just don't think that's a valid reason to not punish the University so harshly that no college sports program will ever again consider allowing things to get that out of control. Whenever a few powerful people engage in unethical and illegal behavior, there are always unfair consequences on the innocent rank and file. For example, when Enron collapsed, thousands of innocent people lost their jobs and their retirement funds. That totally sucks and is in no way fair. But it happens.
My strongest sympathies, however, are with the victims of Sandusky, particularly those who could have been spared that torture had Penn State acted in a normal, sane, and responsible manner. Penn State could have prevented some of the children from being abused had they done anything at all. They did nothing.
Not only did they do nothing, they covered it up and continued to allow Sandusky to use Penn State football trips and facilities to lure his victims. That goes far, far beyond any abuse committed by any other school in the history of college athletics.
Is the death penalty harsh? Yes. But not as harsh as what Penn State's leaders allowed to happen to those children by refusing to do anything when they had the chance.

If there is no connection, then why not make a separate thread?
The Mitchell Report, or something very like it, needed to happen. It was the catalyst that finally got baseball to clean up its act, got the union to get serious about PEDs, and began the end of the steroid era before fan confidence in the game had been eroded altogether.

It's still a hot contest, this presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain. Each side takes pains to draw distinctions from the other. McCain, with some justice, calls Obama…

STAGE TUBE: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Cast Announces Online Sweepstakes for 25th Anniversary Performance!
The longest-running show in Broadway history, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, directed by Harold Prince and produced by Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Company, Inc., will once again make theater history when it becomes the first Broadway show ever to celebrate its 25th Anniversary on Saturday, January 26, 2013. Producers today announced an online sweepstakes to give PHANTOM "Phans" the chance to be part of the historic night's invitation-only performance. While many of the evening's details are being kept under wraps, the special night will begin with an early 6:30 PM performance at The Majestic Theatre (247 West 44th Street), the musical's home for its entire run.
Via an online sweepstakes now live on the PHANTOM Facebook page, the production will be giving away 100 pairs of tickets for the exclusive performance.

THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA became the longest-running show in Broadway history on January 9, 2006 with its 7,486th performance (surpassing the previous record-holder Cats, also by Andrew Lloyd Webber and also produced by Mackintosh). Incredibly, since breaking that record, PHANTOM has played both an additional 6½ years and 2,800 performances - which by itself would be a smash hit run for a Broadway musical.
On Broadway, since its debut on January 26, 1988, The Phantom of the Opera has grossed over $880 million. Even now - in its incredible 25th year on Broadway - it is consistently among Broadway's highest-grossing shows and remains a box office champ. Earlier this year, the production shattered the house record at The Majestic by having its best weekly gross in its entire 24-year history. Total attendance is now over 15 million and it continues to play with no end in sight.
The musical's international success - equally staggering - is represented by total worldwide grosses estimated at over $5.6 billion. This colossal figure makes PHANTOM the most successful entertainment venture of all time, with revenues higher than any film or stage play in history, including Titanic, Star Wars and far surpassing the world's highest-grossing film Avatar (at $2.8 billion). Worldwide, over 65,000 performances have been seen by 130 million people in 28 countries and 148 cities in 13 languages.
The flagship London production, which opened in 1986 at Her Majesty's Theatre, celebrated 25 years in October 2011. That milestone was celebrated with a special production at London's Royal Albert Hall starring two notable PHANTOM alumni, former London Phantom Ramin Karimloo and former U.S. Christine Sierra Boggess (star of the Vegas production and Broadway star of The Little Mermaid), to tremendous acclaim. Earlier this year, a live recording was released on CD by Decca and a DVD of the event was released by Universal Home Entertainment.
There are currently six productions around the world: London, New York, Budapest (Hungary), Tokyo (Japan), Seoul (Korea) and Cameron Mackintosh's all-new production of the musical which is currently enjoying a highly-acclaimed, record-breaking UK National Tour, which is planned to come to the U.S. in the not-too-distant future.

The Obama White House and the Supreme Court
By Jeffrey Toobin
Doubleday, 298 pages, 2012
This is an important inside look at the Supreme Court but a badly titled book.
The botched oath of office administered by Chief Justice John Roberts to president-elect Barack Obama in 2009 has nothing to do with their sharp disagreement about constitutional interpretation.
Yet author Jeffrey Toobin opens the book with the trivial mistake and goes on and on about a matter of no consequence.
Obama, a constitutional law professor with liberal instincts, was bound to clash with a reactionary chief justice.
In that quarrel, President Obama is right, Roberts wrong. As Toobin puts it: Roberts "has far more often used his formidable skills on behalf of the strong in opposition to the weak." Toobin also rightly said: "The Obama team regards the Supreme Court as just another group of Republicans."
But the chief justice is enormously powerful as shown by his court's retrograde Citizens United ruling of 2010, allowing unlimited campaign funding by declaring money speech protected by the First Amendment.
As wrong as the Roberts decision was, it remains the law of the land. The odds on a constitutional amendment to reverse it are prohibitive.
Toobin is wonderful on Justice Ginzburg, a tiny woman with a huge heart. She disagreed with Justice Blackmun that abortion is a privacy matter.
"Abortion rights are about equality," she said. "The denial of abortion rights to women is just another former of discrimination."
Toobin notes that Ginzburg particularly resented the patronizing of Justice Kennedy in his Carhart abortion decision of 2007, a ruling "straight out of the anti-abortion movement in which he refers to the fetus as a 'baby' and a 'child.' "
It is such "inside stuff" that enhances the Toobin book. Such as: "Liberals want flexible rules that allow courts to reach decisions on the merits and conservatives want strict rules to prevent cases from being heard."
Such as: the court's surprising rule for Obamacare: "Roberts deferred as justices have for 75 years to Congress on issues relating to managing the economy."
Such as: moderate Republican ideas, like moderate Republicans, have disappeared from the court as they have from the nation.
Toobin sparkles on Justice Souter who declared that the Bush v. Gore decision of 2000 giving the presidency to G.W. Bush "was so political, so transparent that it scarred Souter's belief in the Supreme Court as an institution."
Souter "came to loathe the Roberts Court," denouncing "its disrespect for precedent, its grasping conservatism and its aggressive pursuit of political objectives."
Toobin is excellent too on Scalia, ridiculing his notions about textualism and originalism, the idea that rights do not exist if they are not stated in the Constitution. Scalia's absurd view ignores the wisdom of Justice Holmes: the law responds to "the felt necessities of the time."
Toobin notes Scalia's hunger to have been named chief justice. He cites Scalia's "belligerence at oral arguments as a way of getting attention — his craving for the spotlight."
Above all, Toobin makes it clear that the Roberts Court is a partisan bunch of Republican lawmakers harming the nation.
